And it came to pass, when king
Hezekiah
heard
it, that he rent
his clothes,
and covered
himself with sackcloth,
and went
into the house
of the LORD.

And he sent
Eliakim,
which was over the household,
and Shebna
the scribe,
and the elders
of the priests,
covered
with sackcloth,
to Isaiah
the prophet
the son
of Amoz.

And they said
unto him, Thus saith
Hezekiah,
This day
is a day
of trouble,
and of rebuke,
and blasphemy:
for the children
are come
to the birth,
and there is not strength
to bring forth.

It may be
the LORD
thy God
will hear
all the words
of Rabshakeh,
whom the king
of Assyria
his master
hath sent
to reproach
the living
God;
and will reprove
the words
which the LORD
thy God
hath heard:
wherefore lift up
thy prayer
for the remnant
that are left.

So the servants
of king
Hezekiah
came
to Isaiah.
And Isaiah
said
unto them, Thus shall ye say
to your master,
Thus saith
the LORD,
Be not afraid
of
the words
which thou hast heard,
with which the servants
of the king
of Assyria
have blasphemed
me.

Behold, I will send
a blast
upon him, and he shall hear
a rumour,
and shall return
to his own land;
and I will cause him to fall
by the sword
in his own land.
So Rabshakeh
returned,
and found
the king
of Assyria
warring
against Libnah:
for he had heard
that he was departed
from Lachish.
And when he heard
say
of Tirhakah
king
of Ethiopia,
Behold, he is come out
to fight
against thee: he sent
messengers
again
unto Hezekiah,
saying,
Tharaka

Thus shall ye speak
to Hezekiah
king
of Judah,
saying,
Let not thy God
in whom thou trustest
deceive
thee, saying,
Jerusalem
shall not be delivered
into the hand
of the king
of Assyria.
Behold, thou hast heard
what the kings
of Assyria
have done
to all lands,
by destroying them utterly:
and shalt thou be delivered?
Have the gods
of the nations
delivered
them which my fathers
have destroyed;
as Gozan,
and Haran,
and Rezeph,
and the children
of Eden
which were in Thelasar?

Where is the king
of Hamath,
and the king
of Arpad,
and the king
of the city
of Sepharvaim,
of Hena,
and Ivah?
And Hezekiah
received
the letter
of the hand
of the messengers,
and read
it: and Hezekiah
went up
into the house
of the LORD,
and spread
it before
the LORD.
And Hezekiah
prayed
before
the LORD,
and said,
O LORD
God
of Israel,
which dwellest
between the cherubims,
thou art the God,
even thou alone, of all the kingdoms
of the earth;
thou hast made
heaven
and earth.
say
LORD,
bow down
thine ear,
and hear:
open,
LORD,
thine eyes,
and see:
and hear
the words
of Sennacherib,
which hath sent
him to reproach
the living
God.

Of a truth,
LORD,
the kings
of Assyria
have destroyed
the nations
and their lands,
And have cast
their gods
into the fire:
for they were no gods,
but the work
of men's
hands,
wood
and stone:
therefore they have destroyed
them.
Now therefore, O LORD
our God,
I beseech thee, save
thou us out of his hand,
that all the kingdoms
of the earth
may know
that thou art the LORD
God,
even thou only.
Then Isaiah
the son
of Amoz
sent
to Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus saith
the LORD
God
of Israel,
That which thou hast prayed
to me against Sennacherib
king
of Assyria
I have heard.

This is the word
that the LORD
hath spoken
concerning him; The virgin
the daughter
of Zion
hath despised
thee, and laughed thee to scorn;
the daughter
of Jerusalem
hath shaken
her head
at thee.
Whom hast thou reproached
and blasphemed?
and against whom hast thou exalted
thy voice,
and lifted up
thine eyes
on high?
even against the Holy
One of Israel.
By
thy messengers
thou hast reproached
the Lord,
and hast said,
With the multitude
of my chariots
I am come up
to the height
of the mountains,
to the sides
of Lebanon,
and will cut down
the tall
cedar trees
thereof, and the choice
fir trees
thereof: and I will enter
into the lodgings
of his borders,
and into the forest
of his Carmel.

I have digged
and drunk
strange
waters,
and with the sole
of my feet
have I dried
up all the rivers
of besieged places.
Hast thou not heard
long ago
how I have done
it, and of ancient
times
that I have formed
it? now have I brought
it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste
fenced
cities
into ruinous
heaps.
Therefore their inhabitants
were of small
power,
they were dismayed
and confounded;
they were as the grass
of the field,
and as the green
herb,
as the grass
on the housetops,
and as corn blasted
before
it be grown up.

Because thy rage

And the remnant
that is escaped
of the house
of Judah
shall yet again
take root
downward,
and bear
fruit
upward.
For out of Jerusalem
shall go forth
a remnant,
and they that escape
out of mount
Zion:
the zeal
of the LORD
of hosts
shall do
this.
Therefore thus saith
the LORD
concerning the king
of Assyria,
He shall not come
into this city,
nor shoot
an arrow
there, nor come before
it with shield,
nor cast
a bank
against it.

and shall not come
into this city,
saith
the LORD.
For I will defend
this city,
to save
it, for mine own sake, and for my servant
David's
sake.
And it came to pass that night,
that the angel
of the LORD
went out,
and smote
in the camp
of the Assyrians

and when they arose early
in the morning,
behold, they were all dead

So Sennacherib
king
of Assyria
departed,
and went
and returned,
and dwelt
at Nineveh.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
in the house
of Nisroch
his god,
that Adrammelech
and Sharezer
his sons
smote
him with the sword:
and they escaped
into the land
of Armenia.
And Esarhaddon
his son
reigned
in his stead.
